want to drive.

Sealed Electronics Extend Your Driving
Fun

Traxxas
shocked enthusiasts with the release of our exclusive watertight, sealed
electronics in the E-Maxx that provided the freedom to drive where you want
to drive through water, mud, snow, and other wet-running conditions that
wouldn’t have been possible before. Now the Traxxas Rustler is Ready-To-Race
with this waterproof technology. The new XL-5 electronic speed control and the
mini receiver are sealed against the elements giving you the freedom go places
you might not have thought possible. It opens up a whole new world of adventure
and fun. Wet muddy tracks are no problem for the Rustler.

The
Rustler is 100% Ready-To-Race® right out of the box, and is fully loaded with
innovative performance features such as the advanced Revo-spec Torque-Control™
slipper clutch. The patent-pending design delivers smooth operation, precise
adjustment, and consistent traction control. The Titan 12T 550 modified motor is
designed for incredible mod-motor power output with virtually maintenance-free
operation, and long-lasting performance. The Titan 12T 550 motor’s integrated
cooling fan pulls cool air through the motor to keep temperatures down. Airflow
is routed through vent tunnels molded in the motor plate. A cooler running motor
equates to faster speeds, longer runtime, and extended motor life.

What
would the best-selling stadium truck be without a class-leading high-performance
electronic speed control? The waterproof XL-5 Electronic Speed Control offers
high current handling, EZ-Set™ one-button setup, and smooth high-frequency
control. Three drive profiles, thermal shutdown protection, gold-plated
connectors, and incredibly low resistance are all features you might expect to
only be available on an expensive replacement ESC. The XL-5 is the first
electronic speed control that has the exclusive Traxxas Training Mode™ that
limits full-throttle power to 50%. This allows young or new drivers to safely
develop their control skills before unlocking full power to the mighty Titan 12T
motor. Rustler is perfect for drivers of any age and experience.

The
quest for ultimate speed began with the battery connector. As today’s batteries
store more and more energy inside their cells, traditional battery connectors
became a roadblock, unable to deliver all the energy the battery is capable of
outputting. The new Traxxas High-Current Connector opens the door for
unrestricted current flow.

Traxxas didn’t stop there. Rustler’s durable, fiber-composite chassis is
designed for exceptional rigidity, and offers an inline battery position for a
low polar moment of inertia. That’s engineering speak that translates into
nimble handling and lightening-fast response. The low-profile “lay-down”
steering servo mounting system further enhances the Rustler’s already low CG
design. Rustler delivers superior stability and cornering thanks to its centered
kingpin and live axle front suspension. Transmitting the power to the wheels is
an efficient 3-gear variable-ratio transmission, topped off with sealed ball
bearings and smooth-running telescoping driveshafts. In addition to those
advanced features, the factory-installed planetary differential is Traxxas-tough
with hardened steel gears that never need adjusting! Perfect for long-lasting,
all-day fun. Just take the Rustler out of the box, charge up a battery, and
drive!

Rustler sports a stunning 6-color ProGraphix® body and decal set. At the
corners you’ll find a set of bold 2.8" mirror-chrome All-Star™ wheels wrapped
with performance-engineered tires, pre-glued, of course. The
precision-engineered tread patterns and rubber compounds were designed to meet
the performance requirements of the 65+mph Traxxas Jato (Nitro) so they are sure
to provide Rustler with excellent traction. Alias™ step-pins at the rear and
sharp-edged Alias ribbed tires up front hug the corners for a solid, planted
feel.

Traxxas backs the Rustler and all of their products with top-notch support
that is second to none. A staff of skilled representatives is on-hand to answer
your questions via phone, website, or email. Unmatched parts support allows
Rustler to be serviced with parts and support from thousands of hobby dealers
worldwide. Traxxas goes the extra mile to ensure that your R/C experience is
easy and fun. Follow the details link above to go in depth on all the Rustler performance benefits

Titan® 12-Turn 550 Modified Motor
The
Rustler includes a powerful Titan 12T 550 modified motor with internal cooling
fan. An industry first for this class of truck. The Titan’s over-sized armature
(30% larger compared to 540-sized armatures) is equipped with 12-turns of pure
copper wire for big torque and increased power-handling capabilities. Lower
running temperatures are achieved with the integrated cooling fan. The Titan 12T
requires very little maintenance and is designed for consistent torque and high
speeds from run to run, without fading.

Beyond the specs, the Titan 12T is made for dirt-roosting torque,
lightning-quick acceleration, big-air jumps, and just about any other 4-wheel
fun that demands real horsepower. Be sure to check out the videos to see it in
action!

XL-5
Waterproof Electronic Speed Control
Designed and engineered by Traxxas, the XL-5 Electronic Speed Control handles
the elements while smoothly supplying power to the motor. This high-performance
ESC is packed with impressive specifications that are normally only found on
more expensive high-end replacement units. The XL-5 features a completely
waterproof design, three throttle profiles, Thermal Shutdown Protection, 4-8
cell compatibility, and built-in BEC. High frequency operation combined with
ultra-low resistance make the XL-5 an efficient and ultra-smooth fully
proportional speed control. An exclusive feature on the XL-5 is the patent
pending Training Mode™. This profile reduces the overall power output of the
XL-5 by 50% making it easier for young or new drivers to develop their control
skills before unleashing full-power operation. The XL-5 is manufactured by
Traxxas to ensure the highest level of quality and support.

Four
Channel Micro Receiver
A four channel Traxxas micro receiver gives you additional room to grow! The
4-channel micro receiver features two steering servo ports, eliminating the need
for a Y-harness.

Securely
Mounted Electronics
The ESC and watertight receiver box are screwed to the chassis for ultimate
mounting security. There’s no servo tape to loosen over time with dirt, heat,
and collisions.

Durable
Gray Parts
The durable monocoque chassis tub is made from highest quality nylon composites.
Many parts including the chassis, shock bodies, and transmission housing are now

Revo®-spec
Torque-Control™ Slipper Clutch
Revo technology is utilized to manage the increased power from the Titan 12T
motor. The Torque-Control slipper clutch uses special semi-metallic friction
material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and provide
consistent traction control. The semi-metallic friction material remains stable
across a wide temperature range to provide smooth, linear engagement you can
count on, run after run. Spur gears can be removed and replaced without altering
the slipper adjustment.

The All-Star wheels feature a lightweight horizontal bead that holds the tire to
the rim even under extreme rpm. Performance-designed foam inserts are standard
and all tires come pre-glued from the factory to get you rolling right out of
the box.

Included
Optional Pinion Gear
The Rustler reaches its blistering 35+mph top speed on-road using the optional
28-tooth pinion gear (included) and a 7-cell 8.4V battery pack (sold
separately). Out of the box, the installed 23-tooth pinion gear is just right
for all-around, on or off-road action.

ProGraphix®
Bodies
The Rustler's fully trimmed and painted ProGraphix body is available in Red,
Blue, Black, and White/Gunmetal. Decals are also applied to save you time and
get you driving just minutes out of the box. Traxxas’ ProGraphix bodies are the
hottest looking bodies around and are only available on Traxxas Ready-to-Race®
models.

Oil-Filled
Ultra Shocks™
Rustler's oil-filled Ultra Shocks utilize X-ring technology for a perfect seal
and super-smooth performance. They are fully tunable with a wide range of oils,
springs, and pistons. Features include pressure bladders for air/oil separation
and spring clips to precisely change the ride height and spring pre-load. They
can be renewed in minutes with our inexpensive rebuild kits.

Motor
Mount with Cooling Channels
The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks. The
molded motor plate includes finned cooling channels where the motor mounts to
the motor plate. The cooling channels work in conjunction with the internal
Titan 12T motor fan to pull air through the motor for superior cooling.

Brushless
Ready Magnum 272™ Transmission
The Rustler’s Magnum 272 transmission is assembled with new all metal gear
internals riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball bearings. Combined with the smooth
48-pitch gears, power is delivered quietly to the durable telescoping U-joint
driveshafts. The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt
and rocks.

Fiber
Composite Arms
